Just out of interest... Did you get the Foredom from Stewmac as well or were you able to source it locally?

Cheers
Michael.
The handpiece is Foredom, custom modified (threaded) by and sourced through stewmac to fit their router base.

The motor unit is not actually Foredom, but a cheaper Taiwanese made alternative - hence, "foredom style"....

Jeremy.
Thanks very much for that Jeremy.
Is this the one your talking about???

As a side, I do have a Foredom Air Turbine Grinder, but have not set it up for this job. It's handpiece is a little more specialized so would require adapting for the base. It also runs at 200'000 RPM :shock:, requiring special bits too.

Holy smoke Batman, that is one fast machine.

I can see how you need special bits.
